Actually, they don’t make Ipod’s in 30G anymore, except for the Itouch which is web-enabled (pretty much the same as the Iphone, except without a phone). If you’d rather avoid that, go with the Ipod classic which comes with a much larger drive. If you’re looking for small, think Nano (max is 16G) or Shuffle. My son has a classic with 160G and he has it loaded with shiurim, which are of course, much larger then music files. Plus photos and backups from his computer. I have his old 30G video and enjoy it very much since I can put enough on there to cover any “mood” of what I want to listen to without having to sync it very often.
No matter which way you go, it’s a great product!
